Manchester United veteran Michael Carrick is delighted they're still alive in four competitions.

They are in action in the Premier League, EFL Cup and FA Cup over the next 10 days, as well as resuming the Europa League campaign next month, and United's experienced central midfielder is happy to have so many games to look forward to.

"I tell you what, at this point of the season, to be in all competitions, I'd snap your hand off – that's where you want to be," the 35-year-old told MUTV.

"There's no way you complain about playing too many games because playing a lot of games means you've got a lot to play for and that's exactly where we want to be.

"There's loads to play for this season, challenging on different fronts with different opportunities in different competitions, so it's where we want to be and we look forward to the end of the season."
